Default Highway pegs – Engine guard Question???

Just wondering opinions on different set ups for looks and comfort. I have a 2000 Fatboy that’s lowered in the rear and I’m not tall about 5’11”. Hard to decide which one to buy Without having them on the bike. Lindy with or without pegs / normal with pegs???

My opinion which means nothing to your decision is normal bars with pegs. I just don't like the Lindy Bar

I say the regular bar with the pegs. Lindy bars look odd. But why are you asking us? It's your bike so just get the one that you think looks best.

I was considering the Lindby bars, but went with regular with the 360 degree mounts. My main reason was the flexibility of the 360 pegs. The placement options are pretty much limited by your imagination, whereas the Lindby bars... not so much.

I have the engine guards with highway foot rests built in on my Heritage. You can see it in my pic.

regular bar and add the pegs. that way you can adjust them to fit you and move them whenever you want.

For a Fatboy... no engine guard.

Get a footpeg mount that attaches to the frame or Cruise Arms. My $.02
